What I can't tell you - I can't compare these speakers to a 2or 3 thousand dollar set of speakers. I have never had speakers that expensive and even much more in my home. I have heard them in a specialty store but not at home. They will sound different in the studio than at home. I do know the higher class speakers have beautifully constructed cabinets, well damped inside and higher quality components.
What I can tell you - These speakers do look nice even though they are not made of fine woods and have rounded or beveled edges. In fact I have seen some brands of tower speakers that cost 3 times as much as these speakers and they have the same basic square edge construction on the outside. I think these speaker look impressive for the money. Ok, the grille is not magnetic but it is secure and looks very nice. The connection posts on the back are very nice. They added a nice touch to the base even though it is just cosmetic. Now on to the sound. I have these speakers hooked up to a brand new 80 watts per channel Yamaha amplifier (not receiver), a brand new Cambridge CD player, a brand new Andover Spindeck Max Turntable, and a high resolution streamer. I am using a new Klipsch 10 inch subwoofer all items purchased through Amazon. I am only using this system for stereo music. The highs from these speakers are very crisp and clear. The mid sound is warm and robust. The lows are very adequate but can come nowhere near to what a dedicated subwoofer can produce. I knew this going in which is why I wanted the subwoofer. Overall I am totally pleased with the music these towers produce and the 80 watt amp drives them beautifully and they can get quite loud without distortion unless you go nuts and over drive them to the extreme. Now would a 2 or 3 thousand dollar pair of towers out perform them? I would say yes. But the big question is does the 2 or 3 thousand dollar set give you a 2 or 3 thousand dollar performance increase? I would venture to say they are better but not thousands better. Of course this is my opinion and I am not an audiophile, but I have listened to different systems all of my life and I do know what sounds good and what does not. I have heard some crappy systems. I am sure an expert might hear or not hear things I should hear but again, I am totally pleased with the sound these speakers produce and I don't give a flying fig if they are missing a little detail.

Built for Pure Listening Monitor XT70 was made for the enjoyment of pure sound: Nickel-plated binding posts ensure a direct, lossless connection; low-resonance, critically braced MDF cabinets isolate the sound of the woofers and tweeter without adding unwanted resonances; and their removable, precision-fit grilles minimize sonic interference. |
Polk Patented Quality Designed and engineered by the same team that created Polk Legend and Reserve in our Acoustics Research and Development center outside of Baltimore, MD. Polk uses a patented Dynamic Balance Array process to pinpoint and eliminate electro-acoustic and mechanical issues before they become a part of the finished speaker. We're so confident of this process, that we back the Monitor XT Series with a five-year limited to ensure years of listening enjoyment. |
Modern Styling Nearly Five Decades in the Making Monitor XT Series is the latest evolution of Polk's critically acclaimed Monitor speaker line originally introduced in 1974. We've continued to refine our craft since then and they feature our latest innovations in affordable, but great sounding tweeters, woofers and cabinetry. Plus, their modern, stylish design will fit with any home décor |

First of all, the cones are about 15% smaller than advertised. The passive radiators are barely 7 inches and the mid-range drivers about 5 1/4. In and of itself, is this a big deal? Probably not, but validity comes into question. Sound is full/massive, if a little boomy, but fairly decent. I'm not impressed, nor disappointed, but I probably couldn't ask for more out of a $250(per) pair of speakers. I have, and will have, more to say about these after I break them in a bit.
